Nothing is working, but I don’t know the version information

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. This looks like a known issue with GPU rendering on Windows.

Try this workaround:

Option 1 (recommended, permanent fix):

  1. Create this file: %AppData%\Cursor\User\argv.json
  2. Add:
{
    "use-angle": "gl"
}
  1. Restart Cursor normally

Option 2 (quick test):
Run from Command Prompt:

"C:\Program Files\Cursor\Cursor.exe" --disable-gpu

If Option 2 works, Option 1 should give better performance.

Also:

  • Update your GPU drivers (Nvidia, AMD, Intel) to the latest version
  • If it still doesn’t help, share your GPU model

From the user folder, I deleted the entire Cursor setup file and reinstalled it with the old version installer, and it’s working fine again. Thank you for your confirmation.
